[dateline] Bordeaux 23 June 1778
[salute] Honble. Sirs
We are without any object Interesting other than the Eclat with which Le Marquis D'Almadova
1 is receiv'd by the Governor Intendant and other Cheif officers of this City. He appears much a Man of the World.
He will leave this to Morrow for Paris where he proposes to stay Six Days. His Retinue which is Numerous creates delay by what I learn of them who have had opportunity to introduce themselves into his Family. They do not expect their residence in London will be of long durrée. I hear nothing further of the Boston. No vessels arrived on this Coast since my last. Nine American Seamen arrived here yesterday from St. Sebastians part of a Crew, taken by a Jersey privateer, from Edenton landed on the Biscay Coast. I am with great Respect Your honors Most Obedient Servant
